- More about I Spoke to You with Silence: Essays from Queer Mormons of Marginalized Genders
Queer Mormons face a unique challenge due to the institutional Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' preference to pretend they don't exist and their doctrine of heteronormative marriage and gender immutability. This collection of essays gives voice to queer Mormons, sharing their stories of identity, experience, relationships, heartbreak, beliefs, and the challenges they face. Some stay in the church, some leave, and some struggle with their decisions about love, faith, and community. Their stories convey the importance of speaking out and being heard despite having no voice.

Nobody knows what to do about queer Mormons. The institutional Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prefers to pretend they don't exist, that they can choose their way out of who they are, leave, or at least stay quiet in a community that has no place for them. Even queer Mormons don't know what to do about queer Mormons. Their lived experience is shrouded by a doctrine in which heteronormative marriage is non-negotiable and gender is unchangeable. For women, trans Mormons, and Mormons of other marginalized genders, this invisibility is compounded by social norms which elevate (implicitly white) cisgender male voices above those of everyone else.
This collection of essays gives voice to queer Mormons. The authors who share their stories—many speaking for the first time from the closet—do so here in simple narrative prose. They talk about their identities, their experiences, their relationships, their heartbreaks, their beliefs, and the challenges they face. Some stay in the church, some do not, some are in constant battles with themselves and the people around them as they make agonizing decisions about love and faith and community. Their stories bravely convey what it means to be queer, Mormon, and marginalized—what it means to have no voice and yet to speak anyway.
